“Our experience was welcoming, attentive, and overall an awesome time! My family enjoyed their meals & the grandkids had so much fun coloring in the books given. Such a great time for the whole family!”
“Since finding this place, I've been back several more times, and have been delightfully pleased to find that every time, the staff are friendly, fast, helpful, and overall fantastic. There is a large variety of drinks choices and they are all great. The food is incredible! The pretzels are amazing, the charcuterie board is fantastic, and the Cuban is phenomenal. We will absolutely continue coming back here many more times in the future!”
“TOP NOTCH! I can’t imagine you won’t agree once you’ve tried Chelsea Sushi. Right downtown in Brentwood. Walking distance to shops, movies and beer gardens. I’m a sushi snob I ate more than planned. And…. They are open in Mondays!!”
“Love me some V&G! Great atmosphere, great staff and amazing bites and beverages! A great way to wind down or turn up depending on your goals! ❤️”

“It's a really good pizza that you can get with all the typical Indian flavors instead of the typical American pizza. The pizza crust pared with any indian spices works really well together.
Got 3 pizzas for a 6 person dinner. Everyone liked them.
They gotta do something with the interior to make it more inviting. Long rows of tables side by side with very bright light is not inviting at all. Be great for a big party or team.”
“I was very excited to know that we were gonna have a hot chicken in the area. My second time here the food is good. The service is good. The atmosphere is great. I really am looking forward to coming and being a part of your community as a patriot. However I do wish that your combo meals included a drink with them
Parking: The location is in a plaza with other businesses so parking is kind of hard to find you have to drive around because you have grocery stores other food, vendors, and other things going on, but it’s worth the wait to find parking”
“We went for dinner and had an amazing meal. I had the wet burrito with carnitas and green sauce and it was amazing. It was a huge portion around $14. Kids had tacos, which they loved and were really reasonable - around $5. Service was excellent and helpful. Will definitely be back.”
“**Denny's Brentwood: A Surprisingly Good Breakfast Experience**
I recently had the chance to try out the new Denny's location in Brentwood, CA, off Brentwood Boulevard. I was initially skeptical, as I hadn't had a particularly positive experience at Denny's in the past. However, I was pleasantly surprised.
I ordered the California Skillet with chorizo, which was a generous portion of scrambled eggs, chorizo, peppers, onions, and melted cheese, all served sizzling hot on a cast-iron skillet. The flavors were well-balanced, and the dish was quite satisfying. To accompany my meal, I opted for the bottomless mimosas with orange juice, which were refreshing and a great way to start the day.
The skillet came with three flour tortillas, which were perfect for scooping up the delicious filling. While I appreciated the generous portion size, I did find the tortillas to be a bit dry.
The wait for a table was about 20 minutes, which is understandable considering the popularity of this new location. However, the wait was made more bearable by the efficient QR code payment system when it was time to leave, which allowed me to pay my bill from my seat.
The restaurant was packed, and the service was surprisingly good. Our server was attentive and friendly, and our food arrived promptly. The overall value of the meal was excellent, with affordable prices for a satisfying breakfast.
Based on my experience, I would definitely recommend this Denny's location to anyone looking for a good breakfast spot in Brentwood. I'll certainly be back again, and I'll be sure to bring a friend to enjoy the delicious food and friendly atmosphere.
Room for improvement: The arcade game should be moved to make more room for those waiting. I didnt see any outside heaters, but maybe I missed it. This would likely convince more people to eat outside.

“We've been here several times now. Not much 'atmosphere'; it's a take-out asian food place. The food we've ordered so far (and that means most of the dim sum menu) has been darn good. The service is also great.
Be ready to scan the menu and fill out your order card; cards and pencils on a lean-to table near the display.
Plan for few extra minutes on your first visit to learn the system. It's worth it! and the staff is super good about helping you out. I wholeheartedly recommend this place.”
“It’s not my first time here. Whenever we come we always get gelato. But this time we ordered food. We got the focaccia and it was really good and of course we got gelato.
It’s a good place to stop if you’re wanting a small snack. But you can order a full meal as well. Both the chef and the woman at the counter are really nice and friendly. They have actual conversation with.
The place does get busy people in groups come and go. The inside of the cafe is tiny but they have outdoor sitting that’s really cute. I’d come here again.”
“Best taqueria around. Love the torta de carnitas...mmm and carne asada burrito. Always fast and friendly service. If you ask they will happily give you extra salsa, jalapeños, lemon wedges or sliced rabanos(radish). They also offer full restaurant style plates with the main dish, frijoles and sopa de arroz (refried beans and Mexican style rice)...priced right and generous servings. Thank you La Costa!! ? Downtown Brentwood wouldn't be the same without you?”
“Our server Andrea was fabulous. She greeted us as soon as we entered with the friendliest smile, already made us feel at home. We ordered Kung Pao Chicken & Vegetable Fried Rice, it was so good my mom and I decided to order each item to go for dinner. If you’re in the area, I definitely recommend trying them out. Everyone that works here are very welcoming.”
“love this place! coffee is incredible! workers are so nice!!! i also tried this vegan mushroom drink i forgot what it’s called but it’s really good for your brain & sugar free with no caffeine & it was amazing! i had it iced it was really good! & they spelled my name right! unlike starbucks 😂 highly recommend this place it’s really affordable too! 💗”

“Absolutely love this spot ! The owner is a jewel and so is her family! Very kind people city great Boba! I love the oreo snow? double blended and their macaroon ice cream sandwiches( fav coffee hazelnut)! They are delicious ? ?
Definitely don't sleep on this spot !”
“Thank-you Zack for making Sam and I wedding anniversary dinner a romantic ambiance and cozy atmosphere!!”
“Had a couple sushi rolls. They tasted great, you could tell they use high quality fresh ingredients. They have 4 or 5 flat screens with sports on and a full bar.”

“I’m embarrassed to say that it took me this long to pop in and try out this amazing place. My business is literally one block over from theirs. But, as business owners, we tend to cut and run when our day is finally done. Anywho, this place is amazing! Such a warm atmosphere and the staff were fun and super helpful. Since I was a fish out of water, their staff went out of their way to show me what they had that I may like. That was awesome because I’m a pain in the butt! I don’t drink beer. At all… Never have… my hubby does and that’s all that matters and if they carry wine for me, which they do, I’m good too! We had a great time meeting with friends there. I will definitely frequent this place! You should too!”
“Delighted that Wrappin Chicken is open! Same owners and recipes as the wonderful (but closed) Chaman Kabob. Came on opening day and got my favorite, the ground chicken wrap, original style. Just as tasty as I remembered! This location is fast casual, not a full sit-down restaurant. I look forward to returning frequently and getting some of my other favorites, bolani (potato-stuffed bread), mantu (dumplings) and the kabobs. Eventually I'll even check out their new items, I'm sure. So glad to have this great food in Brentwood again!”
“The best!!!I highly recommend this place ..Best food and great customer service..Our favorite is quesabirria🥰🥰🥰.”
“This was my 2nd visit this year and the food and service were excellent for both. I look forward to dining here again!
Parking: Parking was easy on both visits but probably is a little more difficult on busier nights. It is in a shopping center where parking is always available but may require a bit of walking. Park anywhere and visit some stores on the way.”
Online Reservation Available
“What started as an on-a-whim visit to a small restaurant has lead to finding a new local favorite. Every single time I have come here, the service is awesome, the food comes out fast and tastes wonderful, and the general atmosphere is very nice.
Neko Sushi has become one of our favorite lunch/dinner date locations, its small and simple and the prices are extremely generous for their food.”

“Best dumplings ive had out here, I'm from Vegas but I would put this at the top from other places that I've tried. I've seen them make everything hand made while we are there and the flavors of everything is on point. The broth in soup dumplings is very flavorful and nothing is greasy especially the chow mein I will always eat here when I come out to Oakley. The flavors the love put into the food feels authentic was a great experience and I would like to thank the restaurant for that 🙂 very good thank you again I'll remember it and talk about it for a long time 🤤😋 ate there at the restaurant and had it door dash both times were awesome 😎.”
“We had come here for date night after a quick Google search of places in her neighborhood and thankfully this place showed up as one of the top rated. The staff were fast & friendly, the food was incredible! The service was fast, and the prices were excellent. We will absolutely be stopping back here anytime we are interested in Chinese cuisine.”
“I rarely eat Chinese food because it's not my top favorite but today is Christmas and nowhere else to go, only this Chinese restaurant opened on Christmas. Surprisingly the food was great, not oily or salty like other Chinese restaurants. They have a large menu with hundreds of options. The Singapore style noodle was not soggy or oily, it's perfectly cooked and seasoned. The chow fun was good with tons of meat. The orange chicken might need more sauce next time, just a little extra sauce would make it x10 better. The amount of food was insane for reasonable price. This 3 container would feed a family of 4.”

“They get 5 stars for being inconsiderate and unempathetic business owners. Their pastries are overly sweet, lack flavor, and are overloaded with sugar. I used to visit with my husband, eager to support the new Paris Baguette in Brentwood, hoping for the same great service as their San Jose location. However, the pastries here look stale, and the service is terrible. I don't blame the employees; it's clearly a management issue.
The safety standards are also poor—I injured my finger and ruined my nail due to a lack of safety locks on their drawers(posted video on yelp - https://yelp.to/dVMYOEhcQ9). I’m so sad to find out that my nails are forever ruined. My husband tried to reach out to management but was completely ignored (I attached his review; this is how they treat their customers—no response, not even an apology!). Horrible food, terrible service, and unsafe conditions! I do not recommend this location to anyone, especially considering their unsafe and unhealthy practices.
I recently discovered another place called Dore’s Cafe if you are looking for high-quality pastries. Their strawberry cream cake and Napoleon pastries are a thousand times better than those here, with just the right amount of sweetness. I'm still exploring more of their offerings, but they are already proving to be a much better choice.
Vegetarian options: Do not recommend
Kid-friendliness: This place has some serious safety concerns. Be extra careful when opening the pastry doors as it smashed my finger really badly, and the owners were completely indifferent when I brought this up. No apology! I wouldn't recommend this location due to safety hazards and irresponsible franchise owners/management. Plus, the pastries taste old and bland compared to other locations. If you want to try Paris Baguette, go to Dublin or Concord. The ambiance, food, service, and selection are far better.
For a great local alternative, try Dore's Cafe. Their pastries are superior with less sweetness. I posted video on my other yelp review of those drawers - https://yelp.to/dVMYOEhcQ9 So if an adult can get hurt by those, definitely not suitable for kids.”
“Thank goodness I found my ice cream spot! The UBE BROWNIE is fire ? salted caramel, mocha almond fudge and cherry were some other flavors we tried. I had mine on a chocolate dipped waffle cone. The customer service experience and atmosphere was inviting. See you soon John's IC. ?
Parking: Easy Breezy”
“First-timers and definitely won’t be the last time… more like regulars! Absolutely fantastic service sitting at the bar today around 5:30pm and had great tasting drinks and a couple of wrap sandwiches. Met a few people from the area and had a great experience! Recommended for sure!”
“We had a great time for our family's Mother's Day celebration. Live music by the Jeff Teczon Trio was fantastic! We will definitely be back for Father's Day at Hannah Nicole winery ♥️”
“Best crab dumpling I’ve ever had. Wow.
Made a pit stop to charge the car and walked in here because it was quicker than the place next door. Didn’t think much about it nor did we have any expectations but holy wow I’ve had a lot of Xiao long bao from din tai fung to local mom and pops and everything in between. This place I hands down the best crab dumpling I’ve ever had. No hyperbole. Beef noodle soup was decent, but the dumplings. That’s all that matters. Do it.”

“We are so excited to be back here! It's under new ownership! My husband and I went in for lunch recently and it was delish!! We both ordered a half salad! We can't wait to go back and try the new soups and sandwiches! The staff was also amazing, very friendly and made sure our order was correct!”

“Horrible experience. Came in on a Sunday morning to the Brentwood, CA location last weekend (5/10/23) it was only me and my boyfriend there. Had to wait until someone finally came out of the back to take our order, which took 5 minutes, took our order and we waited patiently 10 minutes for one small smoothie and a juice. We checked in on it but all 4 employees were in the back room just talking amongst themselves not making any orders, or coming out to let us know a timeline. There weren’t any doordash orders either or anyone picking anything up. So it was just ours to make. We asked again how it was coming along 15 minutes later and had to wave them down in the back and they brushed us off, to take 5 new peoples orders that had just come in instead of finishing ours. Then one of the female employees came out and asked to take our order -she didn’t know anything about our order we had been waiting for the entire time or what we were talking about. So we asked for a refund, thinking they’d give us the drinks for free after all of that, and they hadn’t even started making them and said we didn’t get the drinks and did not apologize for any of the inconvenience or lack of customer service. Super disappointed. Never going back.”
“Very nice staff, always very friendly. The only caveat is the lack of habit of labeling cups. Probably 30 times over the past 2 months I came, and almost all 30 I had to find out where whose order is, even the employees themselves can’t always immediately understand where the order is, they have to take each cup, look for notes, sometimes even open the lid. The problem with the organization and it's easy to fix.”
“Nice Starbucks with outdoor seating a plus. One negative is if you are there in the early afternoon a large number of students occupy almost all the seats in the cool air conditioned inside area. There may be 6 tables inside. There are 2 bathrooms ? there.
Parking: Good parking option outside. Also this Starbucks has a drive thru as well”
“Foods were 👌💯, chicken is crispy and flavor is great! Fried rice is the bomb! Spicy is definitely hot! There was a wait time but definitely worth the wait. Understandable because they just opened”
“Man iam from Nola babe and we know oysters! This spot is competing with the oysters spots in Nola babe! 5 stars hands down!”
“Our family recently visited Rubiano’s in Brentwood, California for an early Saturday night dinner to celebrate my birthday, and we had a memorable experience. Our server, Meghan, who also turned out to be the manager, was friendly, helpful, and extremely professional. She ensured that our dining experience was smooth and enjoyable.
I ordered the Pizza Verde, which was simply outstanding. It has a pesto sauce with Artichoke hearts, garlic, and tomatoes, The Caprese salad I had was beautifully presented, although the tomatoes needed significant improvement. They were pale, pink, ice-cold, and too firm. For a delightful Caprese Salad, heirloom tomatoes or at least juicy red vine-ripened tomatoes would have been a better choice.
The atmosphere at Rubiano’s is very family-oriented, which means it can be quite lively with lots of noisy children. However, this adds to the charm if you’re looking for a casual, family-friendly environment.
My wife ordered the house salad, which was generously portioned and could easily satisfy two people. It was fresh and very satisfying.
A special highlight of the evening was when my wife mentioned it was my birthday, and Meghan surprised us with a complimentary dessert. The fried dough with cinnamon and sugar, served with vanilla ice cream, was delightful and a wonderful surprise to end the meal.
Overall, everyone enjoyed their meal, and it was a good time out. Rubiano’s offers a pleasant dining experience with excellent service and great food, making it a fantastic choice for family dinners. We will definitely be returning!”
Cheap Eats
“Was in town and decided to give this place a try, luckily they had 4-tacos for $12 special on Thursdays. Called in to order to go, very simple and easy. When I got there I was greeted by this super nice lady, she got my payment and grabbed my food, offered sauces, asked for 4 and no problem, She was also very polite and attentive, I wish all customer service Staff were like her. Kudos.
The tacos were absolutely delicious, got 2 shredded chicken and 2 steak. I liked the steak more but both were on point as you can see in the last picture I devoured the plate. lol. The only thing I wasn’t a fan of were the sauces, They had a weird scent and flavor, I tried to like it but I never had any like it before and it was odd and wasn’t very pleasant. Overall good experience and will be back here again :)
Parking: Can be crowded sometimes”
“I thought I’d try this place up since I pass by it every time. Little did I know that I’ll be blown away by their Quesabirria. The Quesabirria is great and they are huge with the side of consume that makes it even better. I’m surprised and I would definitely come back again to try the other good of their menu. By the way, dinning in will have you access to chips and salsa.”
“My experience with Dino’s, my wallet fell out of my pocket inside the restaurant and I completely didn’t know. The owner, Dennis hand delivered to my address on my license and was extremely humble to not accept a reward only to “keep supporting Dino’s.” Dino’s has a customer for life. Thank you Dennis.”
“Pizza is my obsession. Having lived in NYC I know the real taste of Authentic New York Pizza. When I first moved to the East Bay It was frustrating trying to find a real New York style Pizza until I discovered this amazing place in the heart of Brentwood called AMECI PIZZA KITCHEN. Their Pizza is out of this world delicious and reminds me of old good days in NYC. Customer service at AMECI is always on point and they never disappoint. AMECI team will make everything right and make sure to exceed your expectations. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!”
“Seems like the review by John Lie must have been confused, because this is a restaurant on a golf course, not a hotel. My fiance and I are planning our wedding here (Wedgewood Weddings partners with the Nines Restaurant) and every time we come by for a planning meeting we come eat at the Nines Restaurant. In particular we as always hope to see the bartender Jeff; whenever we stop in he gives us superb service, going above and beyond. (Good enough that we specifically requested he bar tend our wedding)”
“Mitch is a very professional easy to talk to Bart tender. Makes drinks to perfection and spends time on every drink. Makes my old fashion drinks delicious and strong.”
“We've been coming here for a long time. And this place is both cozy and a great place to chill. The decor is great, the bartenders are friendly and helpful. The food is incredible! And the drinks are amazing. We will continue coming here many more times in the future!”
“Combo plates(chile relleno, cheese enchilada and soft taco) carnitas nachos and sizzling carna aside very good!!!”
